Daily Readings - October 23, 2011 - Sunday
First Reading: Exodus 22:20-26
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 18:2-3, 3-4, 47, 51
Second Reading: 1 Thessalonians 1:5-10
Holy Gospel: Matthew 22:34-40
Holy Gospel:
34 When the Pharisees heard how Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they came together. 35 One of them, a teacher of the Law, tried to test him with this question, 36 “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus answered, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and the most important of the commandments. 39 But after this there is another one very similar to it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 The whole Law and the Prophets are founded on these two commandments.”
Second Reading:
5 The gospel we brought you was such not only in words. Miracles, Holy Spirit and plenty of everything were given to you. You also know how we dealt with you for your sake.
6 In return, you became followers of us and of the Lord when, on receiving the word, you experienced the joy of the Holy Spirit in the midst of great opposition. 7 And you became a model for the faithful of Macedonia and Achaia, 8 since from you the word of the Lord spread to Macedonia and Achaia, and still farther. The faith you have in God has become news in so many places that we need say no more about it. 9 Others tell of how you welcome us and turned from idols to the Lord. For you serve the living and true God, 10 and you wait for his Son from heaven whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, who frees us from impending trial.
First Reading:
20 You shall not wrong or oppress a stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
21 You shall not harm the widow or the orphan. 22 If you do harm them and they cry out to me, I will hear them 23 and my anger will blaze and I will kill you with the sword, and your own wives will be widows and your own children orphans.
24 If you lend money to any of my people who are poor, do not act like a moneylender and do not charge him interest.
25 If ever you take a person’s cloak as a pledge, you must give it back to him by sunset, 26 for it is all the covering he has for his body. In what else will he sleep? And when he cries to me I will hear him, for I am full of pity.
Responsorial Psalm:
2 I love you, O Lord, my strength.
3 The Lord is my rock, my fortress,
my deliverer and my God.
He is the rock in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield, my powerful savior, my stronghold.
4 I call on the Lord, who is worthy of praise: he saves me from my enemies!
47 The Lord lives! Praised be my rock!
Exalted be my savior God
51 “He has given victories to his king;
he has shown his love to his anointed ones,
to David, and to his descendants forever.”
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 18:2-3, 3-4, 47, 51
